Description of the change
This MP adds a hint for ubuntu-fan/0.12.13 on all architectures.
The package is currently failing and blocking docker.io from migrating. After spending a few hours investigating, here are my conclusions:
- I cannot reproduce the issue locally, even after setting up a container with proxy settings similar to those being used by autopkgtest.u.c. The tests pass all the time, no matter if I use packages from -updates and/or -proposed.
- While testing on autopkgtest.u.c, the "docker" dep8 test always fails. I was able to determine that "docker pull" will fail to pull images from whatever registry you specify, so that's not something related to Dockerhub (initially I was thinking that we could be reaching some rate-limit).
- I also thought it could be something related to not being able to properly setting docker's proxy settings, but as I said above I did try to run the test in a VM with the squid.internal proxy configured and it passed.
- docker.io's dep8 tests are passing OK. I've tested the package locally and it is working.
Having said all that, I'm reasonably convinced that the problem here is not on docker.io, but rather on some weird interaction between ubuntu-fan and autopkgtest.u.c. It *could* still be a problem with proxy settings on docker, but that's not a bug.

Regressing the autopkgtests of another package in the archive as part of an SRU, even if we think it's a bug in those other tests, is generally not acceptable. To do so for a package in main is doubly bad. If the ubuntu-fan tests are buggy, you need to (work with the ubuntu-fan maintainers to) fix the tests.
